Start North America 1400: nation building

Zhou Ruoyu went home crying.

It has long been normal for him to be beaten, but Xiaohua still has a degree of severity in what he does. After all, he is a younger brother who was fed up with shit and urine.

Although Xue Nu is also a biological elder sister, she lacks a lot in the maintenance of family ties, and she has no experience in educating bear children, so she is a ruthless one.

If not, Zhou Li'an wouldn't have stopped.

Wait for him to come in.

The eldest mother and the second mother were in a hurry. They first asked him who had beaten him, but the little boy faltered and didn't speak.

Helpless, I had to call Xiao Hua to make the decision, "Wynn, Wynn, come down quickly, Ruoyu was beaten."

Xiao Hua had just washed up and was about to rest, when she heard the "good news" she went downstairs, and seeing Zhou Ruoyu with a bruised face, she couldn't help laughing, "Oh, someone else dares to hit you?"

Zhou Ruoyu: "..."

"Who hit it?"

"..."

"You are talking."

"..."

"Deserved!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." the bear child burst into tears again, causing the two elders to feel distressed.

"Wynn, don't teach him a lesson. Look at what it looks like?"

Xiaohua has already seen through everything, and said: "Look at Guoguo, who dares to teach this 'long-lived person' a lesson?"

"Being beaten up like this, he must have gone to his uncles' house to complain, but do you think he dares to speak up?"

The eldest mother and the second mother looked at each other: "Then what does this mean?"

Xiao Hua sneered at Zhou Ruoyu, "The witch can beat you!"

Hear this.

The house was silent.

Instead of being resentful, the eldest mother and the second mother gradually felt a kind of rejoicing, and they couldn't help murmuring: "It's a good beating, it's a good beating, and you won't die if you hit it twice... As long as the punishment is not imposed!"

"See if you, a fool, dare to do anything wrong in the future!"

The eldest mother and the second mother have returned to the room.

Xiao Hua just sat down: "So, you ran to ask for God's favor? Did you get it?"

"Huh." Zhou Ruoyu pouted, "I asked, and of course I got it! Although the witch punished me, the Lord favored me and ordered me to go with Zhou Ruonan in July to follow and serve His knees and travel across the ocean together. "

Xiao Hua's expression was indifferent on the surface, but she was deeply moved in her heart.

God's grace is mighty!
……

The night is deep.

Southern land.

A group of chariots and horses drove out of the hilly land and stopped in a valley, hiding the chariots in the bushes.

After two days of raiding, everyone looked tired.

"Ahead is Tower Cave City."

From east to west, they went higher and higher.

The so-called Tadong City pass is the entrance to the city-state alliance valley.

Under the moonlight, a valley appeared in the distance, with the outline of a residence faintly.

Behind Tadong City, there are endless mountains that can't be seen.

At this point, the task of Zhou Damin and others has been completed. They are only responsible for escorting and not participating in subsequent tasks.

At the same time, during the two days on the road, they already roughly knew what the mission was.

Now the lame snake is taking its final rest.

Zhou Damin asked the knights around him to ask Quez Titko: "Deputy Inspector, the lame snake has trouble walking, why don't you choose someone else to carry out the secret decree? Or, you can choose one of us to enter the city secretly."

Entering the city is to deliver letters.

As for what was written in the letter, they did not know.

And even those who know the Utah-Aztec language family can only speak but not write; the hieroglyphs of the City-State Alliance are unique.

The lame snake opened his eyes and said slightly dissatisfied: "My lords, don't underestimate me! Even though I am lame, I am still the best 'helper' in Hill City."

"I have to go to Tadong City almost once a month to build bridges for caravans. I have visited Hill City several times. No one is more familiar with the roads and conditions in Tadong City than me."

"Rest quickly, and enter the city when your strength recovers!" Then, he said to Zhou Damin and the others: "My lord has already watched, Tadong City is completely sealed off, and a curfew will be imposed at night."

"Even with this map, you have never been to the tower cave, and there is a risk of getting lost in the city and being discovered by the patrolling garrison."

"The lame snake is very smart, just like a snake in the grass, it is good at avoiding and hiding itself."

After hearing this, everyone no longer struggled.

About half an hour later, the lame snake stood up, "I can't recover too much energy after resting like this! I'll go into the city now."

Queztitke said: "Have you written down the letter, the location of the map, and what I told you?"

"Don't worry, mayor, I will engrave it in my heart."

"And I, like you, vowed to dedicate everything to our lord, how could I lose the glory of our lord, the true God? I used to be afraid of those nobles, but now I have a balanced redemption, otherwise they are the sinners who need to be judged! "

Seeing that he was about to leave.

Zhou Damin took out a cloudy and opaque crystal block from his pocket, "Take it in your mouth, sugar can restore physical strength, don't swallow it directly, this piece of candy is worth 2 contribution points, and I brought it from the Kingdom of God .”

Neither Queztitko nor the lame snake knew what it was, but they heard that it was from the Kingdom of God, and they had inexplicably awe-inspiring expressions.

"If this thing is so precious, how can I want it?"

Zhou Damin still handed it over.

Queztitko thought for a while, and said, "I'll take it for you. This matter is of great importance, and there must be no mistakes!"

The lame snake can only take it, it feels hard after the mouth, but it makes the tongue salivate, and then the sweet taste spreads.

"It's so sweet, sweeter than the juice of agave." He was really shocked.

"Go, may the glory of Balance protect you."

All in unison—

"Praise my lord, praise balance!"

The lame snake trotted away.

Everyone also climbed up the hill, lying on the top and watching the figure leave until it disappeared into the night.

"If there is no accident, the lame snake will be back in...four hours at the latest."

Although Queztitko has been busy managing the affairs of the city this month, he often finds cow dung to practice the secrets of the law.

The academy in Hill City has started to operate, and he also went to attend lectures.

Therefore, he has mastered the timing and calendar of balance.

Everyone didn't take this sentence.

Because they all knew that if he didn't return after four hours, the lame man who had just lived a good life would be in danger.

Several people prayed the holy name of balance in their hearts and prayed for him.

the other side.

The lame snake came to the side of the mountain, and according to the map marks, he found the Tadongcheng sergeant who was out of the city to guard the mountain road twice.

There are no roads on the mountains on both sides, but the existence of secret roads is tacitly understood by everyone.

"Sure enough, as the true god predicted, there are guards outside the mountain."

Marked on the map, this is a real divine help, like an e-sports game with a cheat.

The lame snake successfully bypassed the dangerous place, found the cracks in the mountain guided by the map, and slowly climbed the mountain.

This route happened to have rugged rocks obstructing the line of sight, making it impossible for the guards at the foot of the mountain to notice.

To halfway up the mountain.

The candy in his mouth has already sipped thin slices, which made him feel a little bit reluctant and regretful, "I should have spit it out earlier, and brought it home for my son to taste."

The lame snake chewed up the last sugar dregs in one bite, searched several times, and found a hollow in the mountain that was covered by weeds and seemed to have never been discovered by anyone.

There are poultry feces feathers inside, and it emits a faint stench.

He took a deep breath, got into it, and crawled forward.

Drilling through the long crack, when there was a faint light above his head, he realized that he had reached the mountain forest on the north side of Tadong City.

From here, you can have a panoramic view of the buildings in the city.

The lame snake only rested for a moment, then quickly explored downwards.

The residences built on high places in the city are all the residences of noble lords, and the lower they go, the more humble they are.

Sometimes the rain floods the homes of the poor.

The lame snake once took it for granted...

Those are all aristocratic lords, so naturally they are superior.

And now, he has his own thoughts.

Just like the doctrine of the balance of our Lord preached by the envoys, wouldn’t everyone in the world be happy if there were no such sinners’ plunder and encroachment?
Step into the block.

He encountered patrolling guards several times and escaped without any risk.

Finally came to the destination and climbed over the high wall.

This is the end.

The lame snake's heartbeat was racing, and its blood was throbbing.

He has never stepped into the mansion of this noble lord, let alone Tower Cave City, even the manor of the lord of Hill City, he is not qualified to enter.

Everywhere in the courtyard reveals luxury.

"False, all of this is false luxury, the embodiment of sin!"

He squatted in the corner, opened another map of the house, and identified the direction.

Walk through the garden corridor and come to the backyard.

The buildings in the backyard are far inferior to the front yard, but it is also a residence that ordinary people can hardly reach in a lifetime.

The lame snake approached a room quietly, and heard the snoring sound coming from inside.

And turned over the open window.

Hey.

It landed with a soft sound.

But seeing that the figure on the bed actually moved, he raised his head hesitantly, and then sat up suddenly after seeing the figure of the lame snake——

"who are you……"

Before he finished speaking.

The lame snake had already drawn out the dagger given by the cavalry, and swooped down on the man, pressing the dagger to his throat.

"Don't call for help!"

"Or I'll slit your throat!"

The man already felt the cold touch of the blade, as well as the tingling sensation from the skin being scratched.

Out of the corner of his eye, he could see the shape of the dagger, which was sharper than he had ever seen before, reflecting a cold light.

The lame snake leaned closer to distinguish his appearance, and took out another piece of paper to check, "It's you, that's right! Qiboche!"

"Tug's steward servant!"

The old servant was not afraid, but immediately understood that if it was just an assassination, he would have died the moment before.

"Who are you and what do you want?"

"In the cabinet in my room, there are 10 feather coins, enough for you to buy a nice house in Tapdong City."

"If you bring it to the tribes in the north, you can even exchange it for endless food, cloth, and slaves, so that you will have no worries for a lifetime."

The lame snake chuckled softly: "Feather coins? The Northland has long disowned your feather coins! They have assembled with the army of judgment and are now on their way. They are about to capture this tower hole city and judge you and other sinners! "

Qi Boche said: "You really come from the north! Tadong City has been sealed off, and all the men and women are conscripted into the army. No one can hide!"

The lame snake is not an idiot, with a crippled body, he can still become a caravan's touted helper, relying on his clever brain and mouth——

"Qiboche, you don't need to test me! I can tell you clearly that I am from Hill City!"

"God commissioned me to pass on His will to you!"

After the words fell, the lame snake has become confident.

Inquiz Titko said, "My Lord has guidance. As long as you reveal the origin of your identity, the sinner will be afraid of you, fear you, and be shocked by the light and shadow shrouded in your balanced glory."

Sure enough, when he stood on the ground, he retracted the dagger.

The old butler named "Qiboche" in front of him also quickly knelt down on the ground, his voice trembling: "I, I would like to believe in the only true God in the world, and listen to the will of his messenger..."

……

unconsciously.

The sky is already dimming.

Behind the hillside outside Tadong City, more than a dozen people stayed up all night, waiting quietly.

Until the members of the scouting team who came along suddenly put down the sacred artifact in their hands and whispered, "It's back! It's a lame snake!"

Zhou Damin said: "Quick, show me!"

Telescopes are still relatively rare. Except for the earliest cavalry equipment, only scouts and leaders can be equipped with them later.

It's not that Zhou Li'an is reluctant to part with a few broken binoculars.

Rare things are precious, and only those who make contributions and honors will be rewarded.

When Zhou Damin got the binoculars to look at, he laughed loudly: "It's a lame snake!"

Queztitko exclaimed: "Praise the Lord, praise the true God!"

Immediately, Zhou Damin said again: "Make up the team, prepare to return, don't stay here for long!"

……

at the same time.

Tower Cave City.

It was clearly early in the morning, but Qi Boche was still sitting in the room in a daze.

On the table in front of him was a letter and a "seal"; and his own soul was "sealed" in it.

of course.

The letter contained no explanation of the seal.

But Qiboche, who knew that he had committed a crime, was very sure that his soul had been detained by the true God.

Now the reason why the soul leaves the body and does not die is all because of His benevolent gaze...

Give yourself the last chance of survival.

Those who commit crimes are not sentenced to death.

If you are willing to come to balance, get close to him and worship him, he will protect your sins!
But how to get to equilibrium was not mentioned in the letter.

at this time.

A shout came from outside the house, "Father, Lord Tugo is calling you and asking why you don't go to serve."

Hearing his son's voice, Qi Boche put away the letter like an electric shock, put the seal in his arms, and then got up: "I'm not feeling well today, you go and tell Tu Ge that I can't go."

"Father?" His son hesitated.

Qiboche stared at him, "Do as I say! Also, take time today to pack your bags!"

"Father, we, don't we want to watch the timing and move, and then escape with Lord Tugo?"

Qiboche sneered: "Timing, movement? How can he know the timing and movement based on Tugo, a mortal? You just need to listen to me, I am your father, and I will not harm you!"

"I see."

After his son left.

Ziboche paced back and forth in the room.

"Closer to the true God and walk towards equilibrium?"

"But how do I go towards equilibrium?"

"How can I get close to the true God and allow Him to protect my sins and allow me to be redeemed?"

He saw hope, but it was out of reach.

"Do you want me to kill Tugo? Or, when the army of judgment arrives, open the city gate?"

Qiboche took out the letter again and recited it over and over again, finally allowing him to grasp the point——

"...a balance exists among all things."

"The balanced eternal fire will surely spread all over the world..."

"I understand, I understand!"

"The eternal fire of balance...I want to spread the fire for balance and pass on the faith!"

He cheered up suddenly, like a drowning man grasping the rope thrown from the shore, bursting out with infinite strength, coveting the last life.

Soon after, he put on his cloak and went out, wandering around the mansions of nobles, leaving a message.

until noon.

He came to a residence.

When he stepped in, more than a dozen people dressed in the same clothes as him had gathered in the residence.

These people are all the confidantes and servants of the garrison affairs officers of the city-states.

In addition to the consistency of their identities, there is one more similarity——

Although it is also an assistant to evil, it is not the chief evil.

Like Qiboche, there is still hope of redemption.

They will become the first batch of balanced fire passed down by Qiboche.

"Everyone..."

"The messenger under the command of the true God has sent me his will and judgment!"

"The world is guilty, if you want to be redeemed, you have to get close to Him and walk towards the holy name of Balance..."

Qiboche didn't want to talk too much nonsense, because he knew that some people were extremely loyal to their masters. If this gathering failed to make them surrender to Qiboche, Qiboche's own death day might be tonight.

How to break this steadfast chain of loyalty?
Only take out the king bomb——

"Look, this is the punishment of my judgment!"

"My soul has been imprisoned and sealed by the Lord God!"

"The me now is just a walking corpse with only a body left!"

"If you don't wake up, everyone will be like me, gradually sinking and turning into a pile of rotten meat!"

Snapped.

A color photo was gently placed on the table by him! !
